Poor Viz and TAN. Viz in particular I wonder if they have made a decision not to go after simulcasts in general. The TBS shows also had an unusual swing from requiring a premium access for all but the first episode (at TAN), to breaking the typical CR method to be free to view at their simulcast.

Given Arata the Legend's being limited to U.S and Canada despite being a TV Tokyo series, I would not rule out Viz licensing that and streaming it a week later than Crunchyroll. It would be strange for them to miss out on two straight seasons.

TAN still gets whatever Sentai licenses so I wouldn't feel bad for them.

Not sure if I'll watch Hentai Ouji, will wait until others have seen it and will gauge reaction from there

I am glad to see that pickup and always, always make my own determinations. I have seen 20 first episodes this spring so far so I don't have to rely on anyone else's impressions. I suggest you also form your own opinions! Give things a watch!

Attack on Titan / Shingeki no Kyojin is the only one on my Plan to Watch list that I haven't seen yet... aside from Henneko. Of Titan I've just seen the PVs....

Maybe thats why it took a whole for Attack on Titan to be released in the US. They might have it elite only for MBS to make money. Atpeast people on Huly wont be bragging about how hulu has better anime than cr... i see comments on hulu that are idiotic (well to me atleast and especially about dubs). I may just get a funimation account just for this.

If i do have a funi account with elite, as anyone tried it with the roku. If you use the hd opption, is it faster to load than a free account. Because the hd is laggy for me and it takes 5 minutez to load and it stops to buffer frequently...

I gave almost every show this season a chance already lol
And I want to give this a chance too but that manga adaptation...yeesh
I'd rather hear what others have to say first before I give it my 23 minutes

Okay if this is a sublicense from Funimation I will no longer say bad things about them ever. Somebody finally figured out there is more than one way to make money. Still bought the Funimation subscription so I could watch on Roku since people have been saying it has improved. There website is still super slow though.

I think it was from directly from Japan. It took a while to get the show simulcasted right? Funimation may have wanted it to be a Funi exclusive but Kodansha Ltd. wanted to give it to CR too since they got Muromi-san which is also a Kondansha title... But who knows? Right? I bet it's like another Level E (the way it's being distributed... A CR streaming and a Funimation home release...)

I guess japan wants to make this show a big hit if they let both Crunchyroll and Funimation have... I hope they won't let Hulu stream the show, this show is too awesome for them... But sadly they got RDG

Yes but a lot of Sentai sublicenses don't have Sentai as the publisher. Since Crunchyroll has had Muromi-san for awhile now, it has probably taken awhile for this deal to get done. It could have been a totally separate contract and Crunchyroll might have paid a massive amount of cash to get it since it would cost a lot of money for the licensing contracts and such.

Given that they made the announcement in the middle of night on a weekend, and they never put up an empty box on the lineup page, I'm betting this was a literal last-minute deal. The only other reason I can see for them doing it this way is if the contract required CR to wait until Saturday to make the announcement.

And according to the story, looks like we're going to get episode 2 on Sunday, so almost a true simulcast. It'll be interesting to see whether Funi has the same delay.

Believe me when I say we were just as excited as you guys when we found out.
